Dr. Garrihy mentioned a prison ombudsman. What is his view on the level of complaint it should address? I note he has studied Australia and New Zealand comparatively. What qualifications do the members of the prison visiting committees there have? Do they have experience of having dealt with police or prisons, or some sort of inspection in their professional careers before going into this type of work?
